Thank you!! I've watched so many videos about how to knit handshoes, and this is the first I actually understand!! Thank you!!

Great tutorial Megan! This was my first project using round needles (magic loop method). I made one mitten as a test since I’m a new knitter, so now I’m making a pair!

Thanks Meagan for your video using magic loop for knitting mittens. I’m printing your pattern and making adjustments for kid’s sizes.

Hi does anyone know what the gauge is? Maybe I missed in the video

[@j5c1]

Have you tried using a chart to put a simple 2-color design in these mittens?

[@素-s5w]

Thank you so much

[@AmandaMerkel]

Ugh I cast on all the stitches before I realized I can't use my normal ones. I don't have needles like that! Is that really the only way to make them? Bummer

[@debrawruck2173]

How many yards of yarn are needed for the pair of mittens? Also, how long are the circular needles?

[@helenyvonnee3463]

Post circular needles are just under 1m in length (2.5 ft) and this project requires only one skein of wool depending on the type of yarn you're using. A 250 gram skein is more than enough.

Megan my name is Laura iwant to make mittens will you send me a easy pattern

[@carolh9120]

8 and a half inches for the cuff

[@MeganBrightwood]

I only did 1.5 inches, but you could definitely make it as long as you'd like!

[@carolh9120]

I meant after the thumb you said knit 8 1/2" so I said is that including the cuff

[@MeganBrightwood]

Oh! I'm sorry for the misunderstanding! Yes, that includes the cuff. I knit until the mitten measured 8 1/2" from the cast on edge. If you'd like a more customized fit, you can also knit until the mitten is 1 1/2" less than your desired length. Hope this helps!
